OF the way the game is played. the paper in
The New York Sun gives this information:
When the game is ready to begin the skips
take their positions at one of the tees, one
man from each side at the other tee and the
remaining four men arrange themselves along
/, the intermediate space. The skips have abso-
lutte authority over their respective sides, di-
recting the play of each individual. One of
the men at the further tee. with his foot
within the cghteen-inch ring, throws his stone
along the ice, aiming for the tee where BIZ
skip stands IL the skip sees any snow or dus.
Or other obstruction in the path of the on
coming stone, he can order his men ON the
middle line of the rink to sweep it away with
his broom No player has any right to touch
the stone with his broom, but at the command
of his skip he may remove any obstruction in
its path.
When the first stone has been thrown and
has come to rest near the tee, player'of the
opposing side takes his turn. His object, of
course, is to lay his stone nearer the tee than
that of his opponent, but he waits for instruc-
tions from his skip as to how he shall try to
throw. If his opponent has left his stone di-
rectly in his path the skip may command him
to play against it, to knock it, il possible be-
yond the seven-foot ring, or ut all events fur
ther from the tee than it now is. The player
may or may not succeed in fulfilling his skip's
desires. The opponent then plays his second
stone, and the second player likewise. One
pair having played, they take up their brooms
and go down to the middle of the rink while
another pair take their places at the initial
tee. The skips play last, one ecurler from each
side assuming the directing authority at the
critical tee. When all the stones have been
cast, the umpire counts UP the points scored
by each. side, deciding es in gneits by the the
proximity OF the stones to the object tee
That constitutes an end; and sometimes a

Capt. Wilson of Alabama. killed a white
deer, and, knowing the Indian theory, looked
in its stomach and there found stone as
large as gooseegg that resembled petri6ed
sponge. This was the mad stone. The In
dian theory is that the white deer Is more
susceptible to vegetable poisons taken into
the stomach when eaten with grass than
other animals. To preserve the life of the
animal nature has placed in the stomach this
porous stone, which absorbs the poison, ne.,-
tralizes it, and saves the deer's life.

Under Whose Government Canaibalism
is Said to be Practiced.
The island of Hayti, of the Bahama group,
is POLITICALLY termed the Queen of the Antilles.
1t is second to Cuba in size, and is situated
but 200 miles from the United States It
is a republic with a population of 1,500, 600
people. These people are yet to great
extent Voudoo or snake wershipers. Their
religion formerly demanded the sacrificing of
young children to the god Voudoo and the
eating of their child flesh. Through the
teachings of Christian missionaries among
these people and the appeals of the same
missionaries to European governments, press
ure was brought to bear ON the authorities in
Hayti sufficient to stamp out for q time the
practice of cannibalism A recent exposure
ina New York newspaper by two gentlemen
leads to the belief that savage practices are
yet connected with the Voudoo religion.
These gentlemen claim to have disguised
themselves and were witnesses of the
murder of two children as offerings to the
god Voudoo, and were af.erward eaten by
the worshipers. Such sensation has been
created by THIS statement that IL IS likely the
civilized governments will again take action
III the matter.
